Compact All-poplar Drums with a Stellar Sound

When you’re playing small venues, busking, or just jamming at home, a full-sized drum kit may be more than you need. With an incredible sound that won’t overwhelm a smaller space, the PDP New Yorker is an ideal compact kit. Drummers at Sweetwater noted that the all-poplar shells deliver a clear attack and a focused resonance. Thoughtfully selected shell depths and diameters balance tone and portability, and low-mass, teardrop mini-turret lugs contribute to the New Yorker drum kit’s reduced weight. The PDP New Yorker also includes a bass drum riser to elevate the 16-inch kick drum into your kick pedal’s strike zone. For a grab-and-go kit with stellar sound, you can’t go wrong with the PDP New Yorker.

PDP hardware enhances resonance and tuning

The PDP New Yorker began its life a decade ago as a portable DW Custom Shop kit. Its legacy of quality performance lives on in PDP’s hardware. Low-mass, teardrop mini-turret lugs maximize shell resonance for a lively sound, and True-Pitch tuning rods with fine threads allow for precise tuning.

Includes Remo heads for a classic tone

A full battery of industry-standard Remo heads gives the PDP New Yorker a great tone right out of the box. Sweetwater drummers enjoyed the smooth, subdued tones these brought out in the drums and feel they’re a good starting place for drummers of all levels.

PDP New Yorker 4-piece Shell Pack Features:

  • Sizes: 8-inch x 10-inch Tom, 12-inch x 13-inch Floor Tom, 5-inch x 14-inch Snare, 14-inch x 16-inch Bass Drum
  • Compact kit perfect for small venues, busking, and home practice
  • All-poplar shells deliver a clear attack and focused resonance
  • Low-mass teardrop mini-turret lugs enhance resonance and keep the drums light

Reviews

Great Kit!
Great kit for the money. Very lightweight but sturdy. The toms sound amazing with some coated pinstripes. The quality of everything at this price point is phenomenal. PDP at it again with a 16" kick that packs a punch.
PDP New Yorker Delivers Solid Value
I was looking for a micro kit that was lightweight, easy to set up/tear down, and still sounded good. The PDP New Yorker kit turned out to be a great little kit for the money. The all poplar shells sound good, I did replace the stock heads with Remo coated pinstripes on the toms, and an Evans EMAD on the 16" Kick Batter. I also cut a 4 inch port on the the I also cut a 4 inch port on the BD Reso side.
I use an EV Subwoofer on live gigs and this little kick sounds great! It's not fair to compare this kit to my standard 13 16 22 classic maple Ludwig kits. But for a small kit it does the job. Workmanship and overall quality are great, no issues at all. I added a Gibraltar Micro cymbal arm for my ride as well, works great! I chose the Black Onyx Sparkle wrap. Looks good!
Great kit for the money!

Amazing sound, look and feel
This drum set was recommended to me by two close friends and has fulfilled my expectations. I have been playing v-drums for several years and this is my first acoustic kit. I watched the Sweetwater tuning tutorials on YouTube to setup the drums and tune them. Charles was helpful with the ordering and delivery process and the kit sounds amazing. Thank you, Sweetwater.
Best bang for your buck for sure.
I've had this kit for nearly a year now, play it almost every day, and have no complaints about this drum kit. It tunes fairly easily and is extremely portable due to the small sizes. I can fit the entire kit with my cymbal bag, hardware, and rug in the trunk of my car to take to gigs. This is not a kids drum kit, though the other colors available could lead one to that conclusion. If you're looking at other similar drum kits like the Ludwig Breakbeats, this is the one to get.

Solid Set!
Bought this set in early 2024. I was looking for a smaller travel set for easy travel. Very easy to tune with surprisingly good tone from bass drum and toms. Snare is a bit tougher to tune as it tends to ring a bit for my taste. Still using it with stock heads, not bad. I can only imagine with some quality 2 ply heads how this will sound! Currently in my home studio as a practice set for my younger students.
